Will this right the ship?

Sabres have too many slow guys still, will be a nice sleeper next year

Larson and Hunwick day to day with injuries. Carter Hutton out with an illness

Hutton is day to day with sunburn on the back of his neck from the Red light going
On so much.

Sabres extend LD Murray to be RD Dahlin's partner for next chunk of years, and gets rid of the right-right imbalance of Risto and Rasmus.

Sabres extend Panarin (and still find enough $ to lockup Skinner to an extension) and become a 5 vs 5 beast, dominating other teams' second lines in the process.

Milano replaces Nylander as the intriguing prospects fans are always clamoring for a call-up.

Duchene replaces Panarin's scoring in Columbus, and signs a long-term extension there this summer (8 yrs / $64 mill) after realizing this market was not what he hoped it would be (after laying an egg in the playoffs).

Pominville adds some brains and vet presence and helps some of the younger players with the subtleties of the game, especially come playoff time.

Ottawa gets some decent picks (two 1st rounders plus a 2nd and a 3rd), a speedy, inconsistent throw-in (Duclair), and the satisfaction of knowing they don't have to overpay Duchene for eight years.

This is just awful. You want to give up that much for basically a couple months of Panarin? Panarin won’t sign with Buffalo.

Garf you do know our GM’s last name is Botterill not Notterill, right?

Breaks the ice ! More like slips on it

With Elie clearing waivers now is the time you bring up Nylander and give him the last 30 games to prove himself. If GMJB doesn't like what he sees then you move him during the summer.

It’s pretty self explanatory. I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean literally a sunburn either. Also there are light bulbs that give off a lot of heat. Those infrared sauna bulbs can definitely burn you.

And yes his comment was hilarious.

This actually isn't terrible. At least not for a Garf blog. Garf would have offered up Okposo, Nylander and a 5th for Panarin, Murray, and Zach Werenski....

Having said that, it's still heavily tilted in Buffalo's favour. Basically Risto (not an effective player at all), Nylander (looking awfully bust-ish), and SJ's 1st (decent trade chip, probably in the mid 20s) for two very strong assets in Murray and Panarin. And then you've got the balls to throw in the Pominville cap dump AND somehow reward Buffalo with a random draft pick....cocky

I want more Garf trade proposals!!

Agreed 🤷

Seriously, even Botts knows that this team is atleast a year away. I mean, he's been a huge part of a winning organization. Sell what you can for one more year. Keep all futures. Let young guys play to see what you've got. Try to lure in a top FA or two...signing Skinner will go a long way towards that.
